Vegetarian Minestrone Soup

John DeLucie

142 reviews

This comforting vegatarian soup showcases a beautiful medley of late spring and early summer's bounty. It features fava beans, zucchini, asparagus, fennel, peas, leeks and a hint of Chef John's signature pesto to bring extra zesty flavor! Enjoy the peak flavors of a verdant summer garden without any of the work of having to tend to one.
